I'm so excited to see Corinthian back in business. I love this horse!

After just seeing him demolish another field, Afrashad is going to win the BC Sprint. I'm not sure if it's bold enough, but this horse is a freak.

I'll pick the Derby Winner in 2007.

(Can we list bold predictions for 2007?)

Ruffian,
I'd love to see him back too.
I was just giving out a "bold prediction". There ain't no guarantees in this business.
I have the highest respect for Jim Jerkens regarding his ability as a trainer.
When I find out what's in the works, I'll post it.

With that said, I also have lots of respect for Todd P. and Keirin Mc.
Frank LaBocetta is a trainer that is way too often overlooked, as are Stanley Hough and Linda Rice....and Shug is going to have one-hell-of a toga-meet.
There's another prediction.

btw, I really like Minister's Bid. I hope he does really well. Deputy Minister's have been my hopes for quite a while...I've bred two to his son.
DTS

David Junior off the board in the Coral Eclipse (..... unlike Aussie Rules).
Alexandrova wins the Irish Oaks.
Iffraaj wins the Darley July Cup.
Peeress and Maraahel join Dylan, Araafa and Pride, who each add another Group 1 win this summer.
Pride hits the board in the Arc.
My Miss Storm Cat defeats the lovely and talented Dubai Escapade in the Princess Rooney. (Okay not really sure about that last one, but.....) :D

LOL!!! I'll predict to do the same!

Strong Contender will win the BC Classic. How's that for bold? :p

Was it kingofturfway that said Bernardini, Showing Up, and Strong Contender would end up being the three best three year olds earlier this year? He must be eating this up right now after SC won the Dwyer the way he did this weekend, and after SU annihilated the field two weeks ago.

Yeah, I think that King liked Showing Up and Strong Contender a lot. Not sure about Bernardini though. All kidding aside, I think that SC is a late bloomer because of his size and I think that he will get better and better...

I want to see one more race from SC before I decide my opinion of him. I think you are probably right though about SC being a late bloomer.

The 2007 Derby winner will be "Whodaheck", and in 2008, "What the F"

Hey Jessica, I got your message. I'm glad you liked that horse(the one at Barretts). I don't know if you got my last message but I sent it to your "private message" box on this site. I finally figured out how to get my private messages here. I had a few of them and didn't even know it for a couple of weeks.

Hey, yeah I got the messages. I'll PM you back about them soon.

this horse is going to have to get over his serious case of seconditis. Second in his last three starts! He cannot lose allowance races if he is to fufill my prediction.

I thought we should check and see how our predictions were doing.

Alexandrova did indeed win the Oaks (and another Group 1 yesterday) but the rest of mine have sucked.

How about you all?

I'll stand by my Pride-in-the-Arc prediction.

Anyone wanna make some new ones? Must ponder.....

considering he is entered in an A/OC on saturday, mine is not looking so good...:(

I really like Simon too..... surprised i didn't make that same prediction. :)

I'll say that I think the BC winners will be:

Sprint-Henny Hughes/Bordonaro
Distaff-Mo Cuishle/Fleet Indian
Turf-Hurricane Run
Mile-Cacique
F/M Turf-Ouija Board/Film Maker
Classic-Bernardini/Discreet Cat

Hurricane Run becomes the first horse to win the Arc/BC Turf double and is named 2006 World Horse of the Year.

Lukas wins one of the 2yo races at the BC.

There will be a grade one in NY with only three horses.

Bold Predictions

The new main track at Hollywood park will be a big hit and draw eastern based stables to the west.

The Breeders cup races will be run on polytack in the next 10 years.

Betsy will start dating Joel if Bernardini wins his next race.

Lava Man will win HOY.

Funny Cide will win the Woodward...given.
